How the rate is stated
For every sale, ORUS keeps a percentage of the price you set. The percentage depends on what you sell, never on how much you sell, and it is agreed in writing before anything goes live.
The rate for each thing you can sell
One line per lane. The product rate is the usual one for a registered brand; it is set per brand when you apply, by product type and price point, and technology, devices and larger equipment are rated separately.
| What you sell | Who | ORUS keeps | You receive |
|---|---|---|---|
| ProductsFlat, on the list price. Delivery, cashback and any partner commission come out of ORUS's share, never yours. | Brands | 20% | 80% |

The booking fee on a class or a ticket is 4.5% + £1.25 + 1.5% processing, never more than 10% of the ticket, never less than £0.50. It is the attendee's own line at checkout, or yours to absorb per listing. A free class, ticket, course or product costs nothing. No sign-up, listing or monthly fee on any lane except the expert tiers below, and the tier is never charged on top of the 5%: each month you pay whichever is higher. Delivery labels on product orders are paid by ORUS. Every rate is an introductory rate for 12 months from the day you sign, then the standard rate with 60 days' notice.
What it covers
The delivery label on every product order, card and payment fees, customer service, the editorial page, the advisor, the community, the app, and the portal. Nothing on that list is rated separately.
What you never pay
No sign-up fee. No listing fee. No monthly subscription. No advertising minimum. No postage. No cut of a return.
Questions at this step
Does the rate ever change?
Not with volume. If your range changes materially, we agree a new rate in writing first.
Is the fee taken on discounted prices?
On what was actually paid. A half-price class pays half the fee; the club funds its own promotion and ORUS takes its share of the smaller number.
When is it taken?
From the payout, at settlement. Nothing is invoiced to you.
What are Ritual and Founding?
Deeper partnerships with a monthly fee and a reduced commission, listed on the partners page as coming soon. Every brand joins on Curated.
